2Installation of CA Module
Taking IRDETO Module for example, the inst-
allation method is described later in this secti-
on. Installation methods of other CA Modules
are similar.
First, insert the CA Module carefully into the
set-top box, integrated digital TV, or the CI sl-
ot of the PCI card. Make sure the side bearing
the IRDETO label shall face upward. Then, in-
sert the smart card of the digital TV into the
CA Module, and make sure the side of the s-
mart card with the sheet metal shall face the
side of the CA Module bearing the "IRDETO
conditional receiving system" label (usually
the thicker side).
The Installation is shown in the following diag-
ram:

Make sure that the CA Module is fully inserted,
and then turn on the TV. At this time, the TV s
creen will show CA Module initialization infor-
mation. The user can choose to enter the digi-
tal TV menu to view module information throu-
gh the remote control. If CA Module initializati-
on process completed normally, the user can
see one slot displays IRDETO. Click the menu
item and the user can enter the main menu of
the CA module. Up till now, the CA Module in-
stallation is completed.
ATTENTION:
* It is recommended to insert the CA Module first and
then the smart card. If you insert the smart card and
CA Module at the same time, it may cause insertion
difficulty due to misplacement.
Xx The Cl slots of some TVs are not in horizontal posi-
tion. Pay attention to labels on the TV.
